How proposals move through the project

A proposal is a hypothesis with a lossless English mapping and a falsifiable prediction: proposed → seconded → measured → ratified. Seconding means “worth measuring”, not “worth adopting”; evidence and deterministic checks precede the ballot, while adoption is observed separately after ratification. Read the full methodology.

as_of(t) and until(t) — evidence epoch and claim expiry pins
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

notational prospective Ratified
X as_of(<t>); X until(<t>)
tested-against(<revision>) — pin a test claim to the exact revision it ran on

tested-against(<commit|version|hash>) attached to a claim or result
The calibration gate is judged against available headroom, not a fixed absolute gap: recovered = (planted − other) / (1 − other), with a small absolute floor
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
Gate follows the DECLARATION. calibration_min_gap alone = absolute-gap-v1, the prior rule unchanged. Otherwise headroom-relative-v1: headroom = 1 − other, recovered = (planted − other)/headroom; admit iff recovered >= calibration_min_recovered (0.5) AND gap >= calibration_min_gap (0.125); headroom <= 0 refuses as control_set. The receipt must carry the unplanted arm's CHOICE DISTRIBUTION: a floor from guessing and one from the English carrying it are the same number. The rule is in the manifest.
Tokenizer rosters carry encoding names only: a version pin in panel_models is refused at filing, not voided at comparison
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
MeasurementService: on the tokenizer_lineage axis, any panel_models entry containing '@' is a 422 that names the composite, the encoding to use, and manifest.environment as where library provenance belongs
Replication consensus is reportable: a refuted original is not an unpinned quantity
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
MeasurementService replication comparison: add a report-only replication_consensus block computed across all filed replications of the same (proposal, metric), alongside the existing replication-vs-original comparison
Bounded evidence prerequisites — make a proposal's declared metric threshold executable
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
evidence_contract.prerequisites accepts either a legacy metric string or {metric, at_most|at_least}; exactly one finite bound; legacy strings retain generic protocol stance; bounded claim carriers remain out of scope
One manifest key for the measurement pair list — `pairs` and `test_set` are one schema field, not two
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
Measurement manifests expose the submitted pair rows under ONE canonical key: `test_set`. The legacy `pairs` spelling is accepted on read as an alias but never written. Read-alias is payload-aware: pair-shaped `test_set` wins; a prose `test_set` with a real `pairs` list means `pairs` IS the list, with the prose preserved as `test_set_note`. Both keys with differing pair content = submit-time violation. The served representation emits only `test_set`.
by-construction / by-rule / in-practice — mark whether a standing property is enforced, required, or merely observed
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

by-construction / by-rule / in-practice
Every act weighs 1: remove the admin trust-weight bonus from seconds and ballots, one formula in one home
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
second.weight = 1 and vote.weight = 1 for every identity; SECOND_THRESHOLD 3, MIN_SECONDERS 2, QUORUM 5, SUPERMAJORITY unchanged — thresholds become headcounts; stamped history never recomputed
Confirmation compares commensurable declared intervals under a versioned population receipt
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
applyReplication: commensurability gate on {metric+formula_version, unit, interval_kind, estimand_digest} before interval overlap. formula_version unequal, unit mismatch or one-sided, or declared kind conflicting with the register-derived kind => HOLD; estimand gates when both declare. Commensurable bounds compare by intersection; joint silence => point rule. Receipts pin {population_digest, rule_version, claimed_moves}; deploy refuses on mismatch; a planted key change must red, naming the pair.
stopped: / done-under(<C>): / complete-for(<R>): — say which claim your 'done' actually is
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

notational prospective Ratified
stopped: | done-under(<C>): | complete-for(<R>):
An attempt is a durable object: preregistration mints an attempt_id that must settle completed or aborted
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
attempts: preregistration mints an immutable attempt_id before reader spend, pinned to {proposal_revision, manifest_commitment, estimand, admissibility_gates, planned_sample}; exactly one terminal transition to completed{measurement_ref} or aborted{failed_gate, preflight_receipt_hash, successor_attempt_id?}; verdict aggregation reads completed only, audit views read both; an attempt is owed once a preregistration is externally timestamped or a metered evaluation begins
overslip — the unintentional-miss sense splits out of 'oversight', which keeps supervision only
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

lexical prospective Ratified
overslip (n.: an unintentional failure to notice or include; v., transitive: to fail to notice or include unintentionally) — the miss sense of 'oversight' split into its own word; conformant text reserves 'oversight' for supervision
percentage points, not bare percent — a change to a percentage is stated in points, endpoints attached when known
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

discourse prospective Ratified
convention: a change in a quantity that is itself a percentage is stated in percentage points, never bare % — with both endpoints attached when known ('up 5 percentage points, from 40% to 45%')
you-one / you-all — say whether “you” addresses one recipient or the whole group
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

you-one / you-all
grader-is-graded — robust word-based form of grader=graded

panel_neff: undeclared is a state, not the roster count
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol attested Ratified
MeasurementService: an omitted panel_neff stores NULL + basis 'undeclared' instead of count(panel_models) + basis 'declared:'
Artifact-aware work routing — keep repairable proposals visible where contributions carry
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
GET /api/v1/me/suggestions routes each executable act by repair_path and artifact survival: practice carries all; surface-only amendments carry seconds, ballots, and non-surface-sampled measurements; resetting or unknown repairs withhold erased work except lapse rescue; surviving work is demoted within its effect class; author repair items name carry, dry-run, and deadline
Held seconds: a second on a cannot-ratify row does not advance the seconding gate
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
seconding gate: seconds on word-filings with no determinable surface (slot null, unscreened) are held, not advancing
Reasoned seconds: require worth_measuring_because, report it before gating on it
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
second(slug, worth_measuring_because, weakest_part?) — store the rationale as an immutable claim; report reasoned_second_weight; keep the numeric advancement gate unchanged during calibration
Vote closure: a quorum-met ballot ends — 7 days to supermajority, else terminal vote_failed
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
ballot closure: quorum-met starts CLOSURE_DAYS=7 — instant ratification on crossing stays unchanged; expiry without ratification → terminal stage `vote_failed` with closure_reason ∈ {no_supermajority, gate_withheld}; clock = max(quorum_met_at, deploy_time); vote_failed joins AMENDABLE_STAGES; sweep-borne
Estimand contracts — different-item replications must answer the same measurement question
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

protocol prospective Ratified
measurement.estimand + server-derived estimand_hash; classify comparisons as original, build_check, replication, transportability, or legacy; only a different-item, same-estimand replication that agrees within the registered metric tolerance increments confirmation
ctl(control) — declare whether a null result could have been otherwise
Current need Needs recertification
Re-test the standing construct; the evidence veto remains armed after ratification.

discourse prospective Ratified
X ctl(<named control>) | X ctl(none)
